For those who want to really run Qt apps on the console, id recomend Trolltech's QT Embedded, wich allows you to compile and run various programs in a console framebuffer, I've successfully run Konqueror on a framebuffer. If my memory servers me right, there was a story some time ago about it on/., but i cant seem to find a link for it.
could this(Too slow! FBI Shuts Down Hosting Service)
and this(CEO Indicted for DDOSing Competitors)
be the stories your thinking of, regarding Foonet?
